Description

OAGB (One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass) is a type of bariatric procedure that involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the digestive tract, resulting in reduced food intake and nutrient absorption. It is a variation of the traditional gastric bypass surgery, but with a single connection between the stomach pouch and the small intestine, rather than two connections. OAGB is considered to be a simpler and faster procedure compared to other bariatric surgeries, with potentially fewer complications. It has shown promising results in terms of weight loss and improvement in weight-related health issues. OAGB is often recommended for people who are severely obese and have not been able to achieve weight loss through traditional methods.
